It is not necessary to have a job to file Chapter 7 bankruptcy. In fact, the filing of Chapter 7　is probably one of the few instances in your life where it helps to not be employed. When a Chapter 7　is filed, the debtor must show that they do not have enough income available to pay their creditors any money under Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Whether the debtor has enough money to require them to be in a Chapter 13 or a Chapter 7 is determined through a process known as a means test. The means test, takes the debtor’s income for the six month before the filing of a bankruptcy and compares that income to the average income for a person in the debtor’s state with the same family size.　So a person without employment can file under Chapter 7. Remember the amount of income is only a start when performing the means test calculation.　Other factors are stilled taken into account when determining which Chapter to file. Also, if a person makes more than the median income for his State and then loses his job, it is usually best to wait until enough time has passed for the debtor to become a bolo means test debtor. The only time I debtor needs a job to file for bankruptcy is if he is filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy. The issue of income or lack of income is only one of many issues that are involved in the timing of a bankruptcy filing. The type of debts you have, the status of those debts and other factors need to be considered. If you are considering filing for bankruptcy you should consult with a local bankruptcy attorney.

In 2009, one of the most hunted travel documents was the K3 marriage visa. This was made for bi-national married couples who wanted to speed up the visa procedure. But for 2010, this has changed and in the following article we will present the changes that couples could face. It will help you to get updated about the new reforms.

Before 2010, a Thai American couple could wait for eight months until the visa procedure was ready and the final decision was taken at the American Embassy in Bangkok. The USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Service) say that now that approving a K3 petition will take approximately five months at the Service Centers in the respective jurisdiction. One should remember that the K-3 marriage visa does not require the previous completion of the I-130. In addition, it also does not require the case forwarding for security clearance to the NVC (National Visa Center) before being sent to the United States Embassy. If one carefully thinks about all the things that have to be done for the K3 marriage visa procurement, he/ she should realize that such a process takes in the end eight months.

As we previously said, the year 2010 brings in some changes regarding the K-3 visa application and achievement and that is happening because of the Consular Processing fees that have been increased. Lately, in the United States a new rule has been proposed and also promulgated by the United States Department of State; such a rule says that the K3 marriage visa interview would suffer a considerable increase in 2010.

As a result of the suggested rule, one would be required to pay a $350 fee for a K3 marriage visa interview, compared to a $131 fee in the United States Consulates and Embassies that are abroad. However, at the time of this writing, the rule we have been talking about was not yet adopted, but such a remarkable increase in the fee is quite important and those who want to apply for the K-3 visa should take this option into consideration. When speaking about marriage visas, prospective applicants can also consider other immigrant visas such as IR1 and CR1 because the fees are comparable; however, the foreign spouse enters the United States lawfully, as a permanent resident rather than a non-immigrant and he/ she has to adjust this status before being given the ‘Green Card’ (permanent residence).

When being faced with the foreclosure, a wise homeowner will try to understand all of their options. Offering deed in lieu of foreclosure basically means that the property goes back to the lender and the lender forgives the debt that is owed by the borrower. A professional negotiator or bankruptcy attorney should be brought in to work in behalf of the homeowner. Even after this option takes place, there may still be debt that is owed by the borrower. A good attorney may be able to work to make sure that a borrower comes away with the debt completely settled in a personal bankruptcy. A short sale occurs when a third party purchases the property and the lender agrees to accept whatever price this buyer pays as settlement for the original mortgage. Forbearance is a term that applies when a lender agrees to back off after the debtor has taken a particular course of action such as listing the property for sale or beginning needed repairs. Seeking information on home foreclosure and how to file bankruptcy can only benefit both lender and borrower. Sometimes a combination of common sense and mercy can turn a bad situation around. Checking the Internet and gathering as much information as possible on bankruptcy and foreclosure will educate individuals to make a good choice for their future. Always ask people you trust for advice on these matters before just jumping into something. Many times, filing bankruptcy will buy you time to work out something with the lender and eliminate all your unsecured debt so you can afford your house payment.

With the increase on her pay, Julia is planning of buying a car. She does not want to go for a second hand model and wants a brand new one. Tracy and I had the same thought in mind, “good luck with that”. Even with car loans and other financing schemes a brand new car would still cost a fortune. Knowing Julia,she would not settle for a model that is not top of the line. We accompanied Julia couple of weeks back on her excursion to many car shops to check on what they are selling. We also sat down with several agents to discuss the many financing options available and Julia thinks the various choices available is splendid. The lawyer in the house, Matt mentioned to Julia that before buying anything or before signing any deals she should learn and understand more of consumer protection car purchase as well as check out various consumer agencies. Matt said that understanding these things would help Julia make up the right decision as to which model to go for. Matt thinks that a car is more of a want than a need and I think so too. I mean, thinking of the many bills that come with the acquisition of a ride. Tracy on the other hand is very excited at the prospect of Julia having a car. That would mean a free ride to and fro the office as they both work for the same company with the same hours. Of course Tracy plans to contribute on gas, it just makes transportation really easy and accessible. Besides as Tracy puts it, it is high time we put our garage to use. It has been vacant for years.

Have you ever been injured? What a stupid question. Everybody gets injured sometime during their lives. Whether it’s from a recreational activity (such as playing basketball, hiking mountains, or scuba diving in the sea) or from a strenuous work related activity, we’ve all injured ourselves at some point, and at some degree. Heck, I’ve hurt myself so many times, I have lost count. It’s very scary to think about, but there may be a time where you injure yourself to the point where you cannot perform your job function anymore. Can you imagine losing employment over an accident? As scary as it sounds, it happens more often than we realize. So, what can we do? How can we protect ourselves and those we love against the possibility of losing your job?The answer is simple. Federal employees who injure themselves (regardless of whether or not they injure themselves on the job) should look into federal disability retirement under either the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) or the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS). CSRS is for people who were employed by a facet of the federal government prior to January 1, 1987. FERS is for federal employees who started employment after that date. These systems function virtually the same: they are retirement systems created to assist employees of the federal government in the case of retirement due to age or injury. You may qualify for disability retirement even if you can do other tasks at the job. Getting hurt is never fun. It’s painful, it’s time-consuming, and it’s stressful. It can invoke fear, too, if your family depends on your income to survive. It’s a fact of life that without money, one cannot survive. If your means of providing money to your family is taken away due t injury, or if you are just interested in learning more about whether or not you qualify for disability retirement, you really should contact an attorney that specializes in disability retirement claims.
